Panasonic Leica 10-25 mm F 1.7 anyone?

Davide,

Great lens—it is on my wish list for above water photography. I’d be surprised if there is a port/housing that would accommodate it, but I’m interested in finding out as well.

Good luck!

To start with you'll need the 34.7mm N85-N120 adapter that's now discontinued I believe, then a lot of extension. Being 20mm equivalent, the 180mm dome is probably fine. It's heavier (690gr) than my Canon 8-15 which requires about 1800 gr of buoyancy to get near neutral with my setup. I think stick to the 8-18 or the OM 8-25mm 😂.

Even the 8-18 mm it's very expensive:

N85 to N120 55 mm Port Adaptor with Lens Control Knob > N120 Extension Ring 20 II > 180mm Optical Glass Wide Angle Port

And of course dedicated zoom gear. We are in the 2.700 euro range plus the lens cost. OMG

Yeah, but M43 lenses are a bargain!😉

I'm wondering if this adapter could be utilised:

PA-N85-SS60 Port Adaptor: Sea & Sea Ports on Nauticam Mir...

Zen Underwater Port Adaptor for Sea & Sea Ports on Nauticam Mirrorless Housings.  This adaptor was designed to be used in conjunction with the DP-170-SS to accommodate either the Zeiss 12mm E-Moun

It's an N85 - N120 S&S adapter you could use this a S&S extension and dome perhaps, the Nauticam 180mm dome has 10mm or so built in extension and i believe this adapter has 60mm extension. So the 8-18 you could get the 170mm dome, 25mm extension and the adapter for about $US1700. The OM 8-25 would need a little more extension. You'd need to check the extension required of course but it seems do-able. If you have a Nauticam dome already you could swap lug rings to use with this setup.
